[00:22:44] <exec> 08└─Samsung dominates the market the last time I checked, and is alleged to have used its smartphone business to drive up demand. Put 1 TB of NAND and 16 GB of DRAM in a Samsung Galaxy smartphone, and every other smartphone maker follows (eventually), buying the chips from Samsung.
